‘Prang... Prangs... Prang’
That's how the sound of various kinds of glassware is always slammed to and fro. Almost every day there is a dispute in this house.
“Dad, already. Enough, dad. Don't hurt mom anymore.” said Ana who begged her father while holding her father's leg and crying.
“Hai, you!! You understand what?! This is our business, old man. Already there, you better go and do not interfere again.” said Father in a snapping tone at Ana.
Ana who was not strong with all this finally ran towards the park near her house while crying. At the same time, there was a Raskal who was there.
“Raskal.!” yelled Ana who immediately rushed to hug him and cried.
“What's up, An?” ask Raskal, Ana's best friend.
Ana was unable to answer anything. All Ana could do was cry. Seeing Ana like this, Raskal said, “Already, An. Already.”
After being satisfied Ana broke her pain in Raskal's arms, Ana finally said, “They fought again, Ras.”
“They?! You mean it's your parents?” asked Raskal to make sure but with a cautious tone then Ana nodded.
“Yes, An. You are patient, yes.” said Raskal who was confused how to deal with Ana.
“Iya, Race. I want to be able to be patient. But for a long time I felt not strong and could no longer face the situation in my house, let alone see the way my father treated my mother.” Said Ana with a tone of restraining cry.
Raskal was only able to be silent and could not say anything. The look on his face suddenly turned sad.
“Ras, you why so follow sad like that?” asked Ana confused.
“Na, in fact, before I knew you, I too had faced the same situation as you today.” Evidently.
“Terus?” ask Ana.
“Terus... Yes there is no continuing. You will know for yourself the continuation.” said Raskal who as usual closed and reluctant to talk about his personal problems.
“So they split?” ask Ana who made sure.
“Hmm... Thus, Na.” is short.
“Owh.. I'm sorry, Ras. I did not know that you also turned out to be the same as me.” said Ana with a tone full of regret.
“It's okay, Na. That's the past. I have also forgotten the incident.” said Raskal with a smile.
“One more time, sorry.” said Ana who really felt guilty.
“Haizz... I said it's okay yes it's okay.” said Raskal trying to convince Ana.
“Oh. Thank goodness then. But the point is I'm sorry yes, Ras.” said Ana kekeh.
“Is. Yes already. Da... Yes.” sahutnya who always succumbed to Ana.
Skips...
A few months later...
‘tok... tok... tok...’ Ana's room door was knocked by someone from outside.
Ana, who was on vacation at the time, finally opened the door.
“Na.” Said mother lirih.
“Mother?! What's up, ma'am?” asked Ana confused.
“Na, forgive mom.” said the weeping mother who is still outside Ana's room.
“Sorry?! Sorry for what, ma'am? Come on, ma'am, come in first. We talk inside.” said Ana while embracing mother's shoulder in.
“Already, mom. Now mom story. What's actually going on? Why are you apologizing to me?” asked Ana confused.
Mother was silent too. But shortly after, mom said, “Na, forgive mom. I must take the path to part from your father.”
Hearing the mother's words, Ana was immediately shocked. It was like being struck by lightning during the day.
“Mother knows. It must be hard for you to accept mother's decision. But I really have not been strong with your father's treatment to mother.” said the mother who looks to be holding back sad and also poignant.
Ana who saw the mother finally did not have the heart and tried to understand and understand her mother's condition.
“Ya already, ma'am. Don't feel guilty like that. I understand why you decided that. I will always be by my mother's side and support my mother. You do not have to be sad and also feel guilty like this again, yes.” Ana tried to convince mom.
The mother who looked glum suddenly hugged Ana and said, “Thank you, Na. Thank you for understanding mom.”
“Iya, mother. I should have, I was like this. I am a mother's son. I love mom.” said Ana while smiling and stroking mother's back while still hugging.
***
One month later, Ana's father and mother officially separated. While Ana herself currently prefers to come with her mother. Because he knew that soon his father would marry another woman.
“Na, you want to go to work?” asked Raskal who happened to cross paths with Ana on the road.
“Iya, Ras.” Sahut Ana's.
“Let me take between.” said Raskal offered Ana a ride.
Just as Ana was about to get on Raskal's motorcycle, suddenly there was someone shouting.
“Kak Raskal, wait!! Don't take Brother Na.” Shouted the man who turned out to be Aira, their cute best friend.
“Haizz... What else is it about kids?” gerutu Raskal's.
Shortly afterwards, Aira arrived near them and said, “Kak Raskal. Don't take Brother Na.”
“He? What does it mean not to bring your sister Na? What do you want?” chirps Raskal.
“Yes... Aira wants to be with you too lha kak Na.” Aira Sahut.
“Cannot. Brother Na this you can only be with brother. You there. Leave alone.” said Raskal.
Whether they were joking or serious, Ana could see that there was sadness and disappointment on Aira's face.
“Hai, Raskal. It's already... Just give up on Aira. You can pick me up later. Now let me go with Aira first. How?” asked Ana with a smile.
“Hmm... Yes, I have, deh. Then come home from work wait for me, yeah. Do not go home first.” message Raskal and Ana nodded.
“And you, Aira. Bring your sister Na here. Look out. Don't get scuffed.” Raskal's Message.
“Quiet, sis. Aira will take care of Na's sister. But Aira can not guarantee that Na's sister will not fall in love with others on the road.” chirped Aira but Raskal just smiled.
Seeing that scene, Ana felt something strange.
“Already... It's been... Let's go Aira. Sister is late nih.” said Ana while looking at her watch.
“Come, sis.” said Aira who then pulled Ana's hand walking away from Raskal.
“Na, remember!! Wait for me. Don't go home yet!” yell Raskal.
“Ready, boss!” sahut Ana who also while shouting.
